Commissioner Innes asked if traffic circulation was <br />considered with regard to the high density residential <br />development. Mr. Callahan indicated that the am and pm trips are <br />lower at peak hour but overall, throughout the day they are about <br />the same. <br />Chairman Lindsey asked how far away Site 27 is from Sutter Gate. <br />Mr. Callahan said responded that the closest point is divided by <br />Stoneridge Drive. Further, the Stoneridge elevation going from <br />West Las Positas to Santa Rita Road on the average is 2 1/2 feet <br />lower and will be landscaped. The street right-of-way is <br />approximately 106-112' curb to curb. Commissioner Inner then <br />wanted to know, if a 50' easement were granted how close the <br />units would come to a railcar if the light rail system were <br />installed at this location.
